USADA Settles With TIm Means On Six-Month Suspension

Even if a fighter denies something, just wait for the results to come out and then make your judgment. This is what happened to UFC welterweight fighter Tim Means (25-7-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC).

Means was pulled from UFC Fight Night 83, which he was set to fight Donald Cerrone in the main event after he failed a drug test. Means was facing a two-year suspension which would have been bad for him or any fighter in that matter.

Means denied that he failed a drug test by writing on Twitter, “Never even heard of ostarine! Look at my physic. Do I look like a steroid user! Lol..”

USADA announced on Friday that Means accepted a six-month suspension. Means was tested out-of-competition on Jan. 21 and tested positive for osterine, a banned androgen modulator with anabolic properties. It was discovered from a tainted supplement.

Means commented on the news via Twitter, and it was pretty simple:

Means is 4-1 in his last five bouts and is expected to fight a top ten opponent when he returns to the sport.
